ASSUMING a mount point gets created when you plug in that USB drive, you 
might do something similar to what I did in my backup script:

# Set the output mount (UD is USB DRIVE mount point)
export UD=/media/OTOT
#
#
# Check for drive mounted
if [ -z  $(mount | grep $UD | awk '{ print $3 }') ]; then
    mount $UD
fi
#
#
The key is having the mount point automatically created. Check 
/etc/fstab with the drive plugged in and go from there.
